Alexa is on the move
The Megablast is a speaker with the portability, durability and 360-degree sound of the UE Boom, and the smarts of an Amazon Echo. But it doesn’t come cheap, with a £269.99 price tag.
It’s hard to call the Megablast a like-for-like Echo replacement, as it does require you to purchase the Power Up dock from Ultimate Ears (sold separately) to truly recreate the Echo experience. This dock connects to the silver D-ring on the base of the speaker and charges it. While this acts as a charger and an Alexa cradle, buying the dock means adding £34.99 to an already expensive speaker.
